Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y)  and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Open the bracket

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx  = 1

Integrate with respect to y

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2}  +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2}  +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0  +0) \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2}  +\frac{27x}{3} )  \, dx = 1

Add fraction

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6})  \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6}  \, dx = 1

Rewrite;

c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6})  \, dx = 1

The \frac{1}{6} is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

Integrate with respect to x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81x^{2}}{2}   (0,3)  = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{729}{2}    = 1

\frac{729c}{12}    = 1

Multiply both sides by \frac{12}{729}

c    =  \frac{12}{729}

c    =  0.0165 (Approximately)

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The first term indicates that the 14 student council members each handed out 22 flyers per additional minute of the fair. The second term indicates that the 14 members each handed out 25 flyers during the first minute of the fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The expression below represents the number of flyers handed out at the school fair by 14 members of the student council, where x is the number of minutes after the first minute of the fair. Assume that each student council member handed out the same number of flyers throughout the fair.  

Expression : 14(22x) + 350

To Find: Interpret the meaning of each term in the expression.

Solution:

14 denotes the number of members

x is the number of minutes after the first minute of the fair

22 denotes each handed out 22 flyers per additional minute of the fair.

350 =25 \times 14 denotes  each handed out 25 flyers during the first minute of the fair.

So, option A is true .

The first term indicates that the 14 student council members each handed out 22 flyers per additional minute of the fair. The second term indicates that the 14 members each handed out 25 flyers during the first minute of the fair.

How would you describe the shape of the distribution of the data? How is it skewed?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

the normal distribution is a symmetric distribution with no skew. ... A left-skewed distribution has a long left tail. Left-skewed distributions are also called negatively-skewed distributions. That's because there is a long tail in the negative direction on the number line.
